Sacred Symbols+, Episode LXI: Gut Check (Patreon)

We're about a month and a half out from PlayStation 5's launch, precariously close to the release of a console that at one time seemed unlikely to come out in 2020 at all. Yet, there's obvious trepidation lurking in the ecosystem. There's plenty of excitement too, no doubt, but something just feels a little... well... off. Doesn't it? Well, we'll let you guys and gals tell us, as we conduct a gut check based on five PS5-related parameters: Hardware, Price, Games, Marketing, and Optics. Only then can we truly identify the good, the bad, and the ugly, and figure out what's what in the shadow of PlayStation 5. (And we mean literally. The console is gigantic.)
